One of your favorite beverages could be ruining your teeth, say experts. Are you sipping it right now?

The culprit? Energy drinks, at least according to a new study by researchers at Southern Illinois University who say that energy drinks can decay teeth by depleting enamel in as little as five days.

In fact, the researchers, who studied the effects of many of the mainstream energy drinks sold in the U.S. say that the high concentration of ingredients in these beverages is like "bathing your teeth in acid."
